Wednesday Morning, Nov. 12, 1858, BULL-NECKED OBSTINACY, It is said of a certain long-eared quadru ped. whose firmness is proverbial, thtii, 'ttie more you urge him. the more he won't go.' And the shrewd Bailie Nicol Jarvie has given it as the result of his observation that, 'a wilful man maun hae his sin way.' Such a man vainly imagines that he is making an admirable show of character ; but to others, he looks very much like the quadruped just alluded to, when he braces himself against all entreaty ; and the wilful quadruped is fully his equal in that char acteristic, cei which he especially plumes and prides himself. We pray heaven to relieve us, in all time to come, from the necessity of reasoning with men who en case and fortify their reason (if they have any) in the thickest shell of mere and sheer obstinacy, that has not even an entrance to it, We pity their wives. `Ve do not think that the majority of 'straight Fillmore men' were lacking in honesty of intention. Nor can we give 'lle most straightest of their sect' the cre• dit of this wicked virtue of obstinacy. Some of them, especially among the lead ers a rid managers, have an 'easy virtue,' that has not been able to brace itself back, nor even stand upright, against the seduc- tive influence of certain charms which they have never been in the habit of resisting. and which seem to them of a touch more solid and serviceable natute than those principles for which others contend. We are sorry for the purchasers, if they paid anything for the principles of these men ; but, we imagine, that they oared for noth ing more than to secure their services. Well, they have them. We have uncle up our minds to urge them no more with arguments and entreaties. Their perseve. ranee is incurable. They are joined to their idols ; let them alone. But we hoped that this class was coinpa retively small in numbers, and that the remainder had not seared their reason, as misers had seared their conscience, against all consideratious of public good. 'f.t them wo had a word to gay If the oleo tion of Mr. Fillmore had been urged thro'. out this campaign, in good faith, (and will they deny it has ?) how could his friends refuse to support the union ticket, whose success would give him the only Peimsyl. vania votes that he could possibly have iu the electoral college, and thus afforded to, him a prospect of having his name brought before the House of Representatives 4 where from first to last, (in the language of Mr. Botts) the only chance of Isis glee Lion r-ated.' Every vote cast fur the sstraight ticket, was a vote cast against Mr. Fillmore and for the Democracy. Andrew Stewart, Amos A. LaWrence, John M. Botts, Kenneth Rayner, and all the better and more patriotic portion of the national Fillmore men, north and south,---men who understand the crisis that is upon the coun try, and the future through which it must pass,---were most urgent and earliest in be seeching their party friends in this State to vote the Union ticket. Did they appeal in vain? Did the Fillmore men of this ' State spurn the counsels and entreaties of the union men of the South, in order to give the Democratic party a new lease of power fur four years to come ? We trust ed that the intelligent and patriotic among them, would take the matter into their own hands, and vote so as to secure what they had always had at heart. tne defeat of the Democracy. We were deceived. In this way, and in no other, can the Pierce and Douglas administratiou be pro perly rebuked by an outraged people for :heir reckless renewal of the slavery agi tation ; for that unparalleled breach of the pone faith, the repeal of the Missouri Crnspromise ; for the wrongs which they ha yr- permitted and instigated and permit ted against Kansas; for the shameless man ner in which, for their own selfish ends, they have bartered the rights of the North; and for their unscrupulous and revolution ary attacks upon the Constitution of the country, and upon the wonted and settled order of the administration of the govern ment. in this way alone can the insane spirit of Wise, Brooks, Toombs, and their coadjutors, who boast of their intention to rule or ruin, receive a proper admonition by the American people, and their mad YOU HAVE DONE IT, BOYS. schemes of disunion be brought to a speedy Bad the straight-out Fillmore men 'vs. and perpetual end. In this way alone can I ted for the Union Electoral Ticket in ;his the army of apoilers and placemen be kept I State, Buchanan would hove been serum from plundering the country, and fattening pliantly defeated.

Fillmore's whole vote in the six New England States, will hardly exceed Fremont's majority in Mas sachusetts. Buchanan's majority in the Slave States will not exceed Fremont's majority in New York and Vermont. Fillmore is defeated in his own ward, his own town, his own county and his own State, by tremendous majorities. Fremont will have a majority of the popular vote over Buchanan, in the United States, of 100,000. Bum for Freedom. T Hi*%ll U N CORRUPTION AND FRAUD !
